Just a thought that might give you some encouragement. In 1990, I decided on a whim to take a job in LIBYA. My family and friends thought i lost my marble and to the last minute...tried to stop me but being me..that even pushed me more. In fact, I had cold feet along the way but because everybody was against, I went anyway. It was the time of the EMBARGO, then the flights were stopped in 1991. I stayed for 7 years and it was some of the best time...the country has beautiful mediterranean coast, untouched, historical ruins that could rival Rome and Sahara dessert, endless dunes. The thing is, people are very liberal, less than Qatar. Clothes, religious practices, Man/Woman could be friends and in group...more free than being under the eyes of my 4 brothers and Uncles. Friendship are so easy to come by, since there is not much restaurant, people create own parites and get together and like open for all kind of stuff. Cost of living was so cheap, people can afford. If course, outside of Libya, people think we are in prison sort of.
